Hyundai Ioniq 6

• "Since implementation of the recall (software update on ICCU) in January, the 12v battery has gone dead 3 times (every ~3 weeks) while the vehicle was parked overnight. It hadn't had this problem in the 6 months prior to the software update, and the dealer shop is unable to diagnose a problem. They say they are unable to reverse the software 'fix' which seems to have caused the problem, and refuse to replace the ICCU." — carcomplaints.com, 2024 Ioniq 6 owner, Highland Park NJ, Mar 2025
• "I had a scary situation on my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 limited. While backing out of a parking space, I put my foot on the brake to place the car in drive and the car kept rolling back no matter what I did and almost crashed into the car parked across. ... Anyone else experience this helpless feeling? Quite scary. This vehicle has had the various ICCU updates performed." — carcomplaints.com, 2024 Ioniq 6 Limited owner, Forest Hill MD, Feb 2025

• "The Ioniq 6 (2026) gets the new 84 kWh battery, up to 680 km WLTP range, and 800V ultra-fast charging ... But at €57,759, Hyundai is now asking BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3 money for it. So the real question isn't 'is it good' — it's: are you paying for the engineering, or for the way it looks?" — YouTube review, Van Mossel Mechelen, Jul 2026
• "Hyundai's four trims ran from $37,850 to $51,100 in their final year, and remaining stock is what the American market has." — roadethos.com Ioniq 6 vs Model 3 comparison, Sep 2026

Kia Telluride

• "My 2020 Kia Telluride experienced catastrophic engine failure and excessive oil consumption ... The vehicle consumes oil at an alarming rate without any dashboard warning lights, or low oil pressure indicators, leading to sudden loss of engine power and potential stalling while in motion. This failure occurred at 93,200 miles. ... Kia America has acknowledged the failure but refuses to provide transparency or assistance, despite Technical Service Bulletins (TSB SA428 and TSB 089) existing for these exact powertrain issues." — carcomplaints.com, 2020 Telluride owner, Stafford VA, Nov 2025
• "My transmission failed at 95k miles ... My safety was at risk since my car was jerking on the highway and I had to quickly pull over while the car slowed down in a fast and high trafficked area. The problem has been an ongoing issue especially in 2020 models from social media and the dealership." — carcomplaints.com, 2020 Telluride owner, Highlands Ranch CO, Jan 2026

Kia EV3

• "The usable battery of the long range is 78 kwh, so for the top figure 3.66 * 78 = 285.48 miles of range. ... Granted, not the advertised 370, but not 180 either." — kiaownersclub.co.uk, EV3 owner range thread, 2025
• "I think pretty much every EV will return the same 'poor' miles per kWh if mainly driven short distances in cold weather. It's not a Kia EV3 issue, it's just physics." — kiaownersclub.co.uk, 2025
• "I got a base spec Kia EV3 Air as it has smaller wheels and bigger side wall tyres as our UK roads are so bad now. Also doesn't have the horrid shiny black external plastic that gets scratched and swirled so easily almost just by looking at it." — forums.macrumors.com, EV3 buyer, 2025

• "The EV3 has proven to be reliable, according to the latest What Car? Reliability Survey. It topped the electric SUV category, scoring a perfect 100%, with no reported faults over the past year of ownership." — whatcar.com, EV3 used review

Genesis GV80

• "I have had our GV80 since Feburary 2021 and have almost 8,000 miles on it. Overall the car has been really solid, working well. I have the 3.5 Prestige package and while the overall power is pretty good, the transmission software is really sub-par. I sold off my Audi SQ5 which had a PERFECT transmission, always in the right gear at the right time, so this transmission that can't make up it's mind is frustrating. ... Good car, great value, buy one." — genesisowners.com, 3.5 Prestige owner, 2021
• "I purchased it brand new in Dec 2021 and have put close to 49000 miles on it as of today. ... the vehicle has been very reliable so far. Had to sort out a few niggles during the initial months of ownership, but other than that it's trouble free with regular maintenance and I love the car for what it has to offer especially the tech, quiet ride and beautiful highway manners." — genesisowners.com, 2022 2.5T Prestige owner
• "Unfortunately during the first year of ownership, the check engine light has appeared three times for an engine misfire. First time the dealer switched the coils.

• "Consumer Reports indicated that the 2025 Genesis GV80 'is less reliable than other cars from the same model year,' and when it was compared to CR-selected luxury rivals, the GV80 was ranked 10th on a list of 11 vehicles. Only the Mercedes-Benz GLE finished worse." — jalopnik.com summarizing Consumer Reports, 2025
• "Pretty much like everything about the GV80 SUV, except 1) requires USB hookup for CarPlay & 2) dealer network lacks good locations (none in KC!) and the combined Hyundai/Genesis dealerships are generally not as accommodating as Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc." — surecritic.com, verified 2022 GV80 owner

Hyundai Palisade

• "I am writing this to warn other potential buyers about a terrifying safety issue I experienced with a brand-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD. ...
